I don't understand your preoccupation with my invention but consider this;
A hand buffer is just an electric motor in a certain configuration. And the "stick" that you are referring to is actually 16 gauge, powder coated, cut and welded, steel with a UL approved momentary switch, which makes it actually no "stick" at all.
And the fact that this particular configuration of motor (polisher) is mass produced and replacement is so cheaply and easily available is the whole point of the invention.
I'm not trying to fool anybody by using polishers or angle grinders with the handle.
THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THE INVENTION
In fact we sell the handle by itself, stand alone.
Buy the$500 or $50 motor/polisher of your choosing.
Or if the one you buy from us burns out (years from now) pull a backup off the shelf and bolt it on. Or, go down to your local store and buy a new one.
Do you see how this brings freedom to the buyer/user?
If you would like to purchase a mini scrubber like this one

...then go right ahead. But just because you can't identify the motor as a "polisher" doesn't make it a better tool. Doesn't make that a better motor.
Just because it's permanently assembled such that if and when the motor goes out you have to buy a whole new tool, doesn't make it a better tool. It's still a "polisher on a stick" as you would put it.
But that "polisher on a stick" sells for around $340 which is substantially more than my complete unit and contains cheaper metal and plastic components and the motor is not easily and cheaply replaced nor is it variable speed, nor does it have the torque required in some applications, nor is the length adjustable.
So in the end isn't it all the other floor machine makers that you should have a problem with? All this time they have been selling you a "polisher on a stick" and packaging it such that you needed to buy the whole machine. If it breaks down you either buy a new one or pay for them to fix the one you bought.
You made it clear early on that you do not like my invention.
Fine then move on.
Why are you doggedly pursuing this as if it personally offends you? As far as I know you still have not tried one or even put your hands on one, so you speak of that of which you do not know.
I've got nothing to hide brother.
The invention is what it is and I am very proud of it.
I sell it in good conscience having used it in the field in my 5 truck operation for almost 2 years now. My techs love it. My customers love it and are now specifically requesting that we use it. It's a great tool.
Rob Allen tested it thoroughly and came to same conclusion.
And by the way this is no pet rock. Check out the "Pro" version.
God bless you as well
